2011 calendar class, part 1.


here are the different month layouts we did at my calendar class ~ each month has a spot(s) for your personal pictures. above is jan. the snowflake has glitter on it...hard to tell from the picture.


feb. ~ the heart has polka dots from the texture folder for the big shot.


march ~ love the little bling!


april.


may. the satin ribbon is soooo elegant & pretty!


june. i made my own version of designer paper with my own scraps. i love the piece that looks sorta like this in the "elegant soiree" pack but since it just comes with 2 sheets per pack & i needed more like 14 sheets, i decided to make my own version...

next post will show the rest of the months... Ü

candy cane christmas class & kits.

  

here are the 4 projects i will be doing for my next class.

here is a snowman ornament made with a recycled su! brad container. i'm going to fill it with candy. got this idea here.

here is another view of it...

this is a candy box (made with the matchbox die & big shot)  filled with wrapped hershey nuggets.

here is the step-card...

...and the hand sanitizer cover. originally saw this idea & changed it just a little. i love this project! Ü
can you see the little "bling" on the tree? hard to capture with a camera...

here is the side view where you can see the little hand sanitizer...so cute & easy!! Ü

i'm holding my class on friday, december 3rd & it's only $10!
i'm also selling kits for the candy box & the hand sanitizer cover~10/$10 (these do not include the sanitizer or the candy). i'm thinking these are going to make cheap, easy, & great christmas gifts for co-workers & neighbors! Ü
if you're interested in coming to the class or ordering some kits, e-mail me

mini album w/baseball card holders.

my friends tami & candace introduced these adorable albums to me. they use single baseball card holders for the pages (found at walmart & target). i used silly, miscellaneous photos for my album. don't tell my boys--they'd be so embarrassed to know these pictures are here for all to see! Ü






i also used the play date designer series paper and various ribbon scraps (some discontinued Ü)
thanks for stopping by!

test tube halloween.

LOVE these test tube projects--soooo cute!


i used the "batty for you" stamp set and the new white trimmed taffeta ribbon.

here is the pattern for the holder. i found it @ scribd.com. you start with an 11"x4" piece of cardstock. score on the long side at 1/2", 1 3/4", 4 1/4", & 5 1/2".
score on the each short side at 1 1/4". i used the 1" circle punch for the hole to hold the test tube.
there is sticky strip as pictured as well as on the other side of the little flap near the 1" hole to hold it all together.
enjoy! Ü

boo boxes.

i made these a few years ago after seeing them at stampin' up!'s convention. they're so fun (& cute!) to make. the chipboard letters were covered with white craft ink and then embossed with irridescent ice embossing powder...it's kind of hard to see the sparkle, but trust me, it's there. Ü
